I see in one of the local papers here in London there's a spread on Paul Keegan and Eamon Zayed being talked to by Milwall.
Rather commically, Zayed is described as "well built...." !
David Forde has been Milwall's No 1 choice keeper since the Summer, where the reputation he earned as a shot-stopper at City has continued.
Zayed signed for Fingal, that will be some profit for them if they sell him on before the season even starts :eek:Quote:

I'm still in shock at the idea of Zayed being well built though.... :D
Done deal.Quote:

Yeah, but Fingal have a good team this year, and all those die-hard Drogheda fans who appeared after they started winning stuff might just change loyalties. :pQuote:

Club history? Founded around thirty years after us, elected to the league fifteen years before us, propped up the table for a bit, had a decent spell in the mid and late 70s, then yo-yoed between divisions for a few decades, racking up debts sufficient that the FAI had to buy their ground from them, before recently buying a little success with money they didn't have. I'm deeply impressed. I'm reasonably sure that before they started mortaging their future, the club had won squat. Maybe there's a cup win somewhere I've forgotten about, but even UCD have that. I'm not sure how this constitutes 'history' we don't have.Quote:

More and better than you lot ever had.Quote:

I think he may have earned that reputation before joining Derry...Quote:

To be fair though he's done really well for himself and it's good to see him playing in England.
I remember one game in Belfield that we beat UCD 1-0 and he was unbelievable. Shots on target must have been about 25-1 in UCD's favour!!
Cop on you muppettQuote:
